STRASBURG — Over the years, some of the top athletes to come through the Fort Morgan track and field program have put on a show at the Strasburg Invitational.

The meet, generally filled with smaller schools from eastern Colorado late in the regular season, has led to many season-best times and marks that hold their own in meet history. A number of records were held by Fort Morgan athletes coming into the meet on Saturday.

One more athlete joined the ranks of posting the best results in meet history this weekend.

John Hochanadel, the leading thrower for the Mustangs’ boys team, won the shot put and discus event, doing so with new meet records.

Hochanadel was a few inches off his best throw of the season in the shot put but did manage to throw it 49-feet-1 inch for a new meet record in Strasburg. In discus, he didn’t have some of his best throws of the season, but the winning throw of 151-feet-3 inches did set the meet record.

His brother, James, was just as successful for the Mustangs and placed in both events as well. He finished second in the discus with a throw of 128-feet-4 inches and was sixth in the shot put with a throw of 39-feet-2 inches.

The two brothers scored 31 of Fort Morgan’s 55 points, helping them finish in fifth place in the team standings.

Ryan Clark would score two more points in the triple jump with a mark of 37-feet-11 inches to round out the scoring in field events. The rest of the points scored by the boys team would come on the track.

Devon Duran was third in the 110 meter hurdles with a time of 17.06 and saw Jesus Garcia also place with his sixth-place finish in 18.31. Garcia was better in the 300 hurdles, finishing fourth with a time of 43.73. Bradley Miller and Cole Givens were the final two athletes to place in the 3,200 meter run, with Miller taking fourth place in 11:54.34 and Givens finishing seventh in 12:19.83.

For the girls team, they came down with a smaller group but still managed to place in four events in the meet. Leading the way was Destiny Pelton, who won the high jump by clearing the bar at 4-feet-11 inches and grabbed a fifth-place finish in the 100 meter dash with a time of 13.82. Allie Bauman finished second in the triple jump by reaching 32-feet-2.5 inches and Tayler Young was sixth in the 200 meter dash in 28.99. The Mustangs finished 10th in the team standings with 25 points.

Fort Morgan will head to Fort Lupton next for the Colorado 7 League meet and go for a couple more conference titles to end their tenure in the conference. The meet will start at 9 a.m. on Saturday.
